The Alpha 6.1 field is located in a plain area, on land, discovered in 2010 by the exploration well № E1.
The exploration well № E1 drilled in the upstructure portion of dome confirmed the presence of the structure and established the commercial oil content of the layers B1, B2 and B3.
The reservoir is mainly represented by terrigenous sediments.
At the moment, 4 exploration wells have been drilled at the field, seismic exploration has been performed.
There are other large fields In the immediate vicinity to the Alpha 6.1 field. Communication with the regional center is carried out by motor transport along the highway.
The climate of the region is temperate continental, characterized by significant daily and annual fluctuations in air temperatures. The average annual temperature ranges from 0°С to 1.5°С (maximum — +35°С, minimum — - 43°С). The frost-free period averages 105 days. During the year, 550-600 mm of precipitation falls, and the main part (more than 2/3) falls in the summer and autumn periods. The prevailing wind direction is south-westerly and only in autumn – north-westerly.
During the year there are up to 185 days with precipitation over 0.1 mm and up to 30 days with precipitation over 5 mm; 50% of rains are brought by western and southern cyclones.
A stable snow cover is established in early November and disappears in April. The thickness of the snow cover is on average 50-60 cm (minimum - 30 cm, maximum up to 1 m). The soil freezes to a depth of 1.3-1.6 m. In winter, there are 35-40 days with a snowstorm.
In 2014, the territory of Alpha 6.1 and the fields adjacent to it were covered by seismic surveys. As a result of a comprehensive interpretation of seismic data, the structural plan for reflecting horizons was refined.

The asset Alpha 4 is located on the even land.
Oil presence was found in the deposits comprising units: B1, B2 and B3.
Reservoir layers of the productive formation mainly consist of organic limestones.
The asset was brought into commercial production in 1999.
The first producer that was put into operation was well E5, and it had a high watercut as a result of water breakthrough.
Therefore, to avoid such situation in future, the production levels of the remaining producers were limited. Currently, 39 wells have been drilled at this field.
The pressure at this field is poor, and is only maintained through the water-bearing edgewater, this is why in 1991 it was decided to start pressure maintenance. Event thought the cumulative voidage replacement ratio is 131%, the reservoir pressure in some areas is still quite low and continues to decline.
The redevelopment plan aims to restore 2 million m3 of oil over the next 5 years to achieve the originally planned indicators.

Aquifer was not active enough, this is why in 1996 it was decided to start pressure maintenance.
Event thought the cumulative voidage replacement ratio is 110%, the reservoir pressure in some areas is still quite low and continues to decline.
A field gathering system is present at the field. The current oil throughput available at the Alpha 3 is 600 m3/day, the liquid throughput is 800 m3/day. However, there is still a way to upgrade the field gathering system.
The pressure maintenance consists of the following elements: water intake, lift station and valve manifold. The water intake provides the lift station with 700 m3 of water per day, moreover the bottom water also feeds the lift station. A lift station has a pump with a maximum throughput of 1100 m3/day and a pressure of 100 bar. The pressure maintenance has the potential for improvement.
Oil presence was found in the deposits comprising units: A2, A3 and A4.
Reservoir layers of the productive formation mainly consist of organic limestones.
The asset was brought into commercial production in 1993.
The first producer that was put into operation was well E3, and it had a high watercut as a result of water breakthrough.
Therefore, to avoid such situation in future, the production levels of the remaining producers were limited.
Currently, 39 wells have been drilled at Alpha 3.
